- Ensure the sensor (visible on the top of the fixture, see Figure 5.1) is not obstructed by eaves, trees, or other objects that could block natural light.
6.2 Remote Control Operation
- The included remote control allows for manual override or additional control options (e.g., dimming, timer functions) if supported by the specific remote model. Refer to the remote control's separate instructions for detailed functionality.
- Point the remote control directly at the fixture for optimal response.

- LED Light Source: The LED light source is integrated and designed for long-term use. It is not user-replaceable. If the LED fails, the entire fixture may need replacement.
- Sensor: Periodically check the dusk-to-dawn sensor for dirt or obstructions. Clean gently with a soft cloth if necessary.
8. Troubleshooting
